Millers Top Explorers, 7-2
The Minnesota Millers picked up a win at Baron's Ballyard, knocking off the Chicago Explorers, 7-2, in 11 innings. Starting pitcher Zach Eflin played a key role in the triumph. Minnesota pitcher Luke Jackson got the win. He's now 2-2. Kyle Nelson was tagged with the loss. Minnesota is now 92-70, 8 games up in the Union League Central Division.

Minnesota used the timely hitting of Drew Waters to seize the win. The left fielder stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the 11th inning to put the Millers on top, 3-2. It was his only hit in 2 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"When you are able to locate the ball, good things are going to happen," said Eflin.
